I don't see why people still want 600 dollar phones. I've got an old s5 and it's super badass.

well, you know, to keep up with the jones'
but yeah, if i didnt have such a bad habbit of breaking everything, i would keep it.
i hate the continual cycle of bullshit and terms, where if you sign another 2 year deal this and that are free. cell phones are stupid to begin with, then add carrier bullshit to it, its amazing that we even still use them.
but just like credit cards from cash, easier quicker faster is the american way.

I haven't had a contract in.... 7 years, and my bill is less than 30 bucks a month, I don't understand why people pay 100 bucks a month either.

You're wondering that backwards, it's not why I'm getting the same service for so much less, I can switch between several providers and pay around the same price. The question you skills be asking yourself is why are you blindly paying 3 times more for your service than you have to.

Well, very luckily I was able to connect the phone to a PC via USB and grab all the pics and shit off of it.
So that's good.. Had me freaking out for a sec when I needed some screenshots earlier today (and saved me a bunch of money... Screenshots of various logins for TV/Internet programs like MLB.tv and stuff like that)
Not to mention a bunch of pics of my daughter and shit.
I lost all the pics I took of her from the hospital to 2 months old when my old SD card took a shit on me. That really hurt. Thankfully I posted a lot of my favorite ones to Facebook, so those were backed up that way.

I've actually avoided upgrading from my S5 as well.
I didn't like the directions phones went when the S6 came out.
And then even the S7 is better than the S6 but still, not a large enough improvement to justify the purchase.
Considered getting a Nexus 6p for a minute until I couldn't get a contract bonus with it because google sucks dick.
